Can you provide hands-on leadership to a small, charitable housing and care provider at a critical time of year? Are you just as comfortable engaging in strategic conversations as you are diving into the nitty gritty of finance transactions? Are you immediately available to apply your Housing Finance expertise to deliver a fluent year end process?
My client is a small but successful charitable housing provider in Birmingham. The requirement is for an Interim Head of Finance on a 4-6 month contract; this can either be performed in a hybrid manner (2-3 days in the office), or if the skillset lines up, completely remotely (within the UK).
Key responsibilities include:
- Take the lead on the year end close and be the key liaison for auditors
- Produce monthly management accounts and provide budget monitoring support to a small number of senior stakeholders, most critically in Operations and Property Services
- Line manage a small team in Finance Transactions and Payroll
- Support the CEO by preparing financial information and board packs
- Provide ongoing support to the wider organisation following the recent implementation of a new ERP.
This is a rare but enticing opportunity for someone with prior experience at a senior level in a similar organisation (care, housing, supported living) to deliver confidence in Finance leadership at a time of unprecedented change.
To be considered, please meet these criteria:
- Be a qualified accountant or QBE; experience in leading teams in a housing/care/supported living environment is essential
- Be experienced in leading a year end process and leading the delivery of management accounts
- Ideally have an aptitude for various finance systems.
This post will move quickly. Local candidates are encouraged, as are those considering remote opportunities as this post can go to a remote applicant if the skillset match is strong.
